You pick up your iPhone while waiting in line at a coffee shop. You google a not-so-famous actor, get linked to a Wikipedia entry listing his recent movies and popular YouTube clips of several of them. You check out user reviews on Amazon and pick one, download that movie on BitTorrent or stream that in Netflix. But suddenly the WiFi logo on your phone is gone and you're on 3G.

This FREE MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) investigates the use of clouds running data analytics collaboratively for processing Big Data to solve problems in Big Data Applications and Analytics. Case studies such as Netflix recommender systems, Genomic data, and more will be discussed.
